Village People Songwriter Threatens to Sue Anyone That Calls “Y.M.C.A.” a Gay Anthem

Village People member Victor Willis recently took to Facebook to defend Donald Trump’s use of the band’s iconic song “Y.M.C.A.” and in a stunning assertion, denies that the track was ever meant to be a “gay anthem.”

In a lengthy December 2 post, Willis shared that, since 2020, he has received over a thousand complaints about Trump using “Y.M.C.A.” For context, the president-elect often ends campaign rallies by dancing to the song. But in stark contrast to the song’s widely-accepted association with gay culture, Willis stated that such an association “is a false assumption based on the fact that my writing partner was gay, and some (not all) of Village People were gay, and that the first Village People album was totally about gay life.”

People should get their “minds out of the gutter,” he said.
